Since our beloved Guildchat has a tendency to ramble into musical arguments, I thought this thread could vent off a little of that into the forums, so that the guildchat would be a bit calmer drunken

This is thought to be a haven where no flaming should be involved. Just polite discussions about music in general. Firstly, one could always give a little list of what one consider as "good". In addition, i tried to pick out as few bands and groups within each "genre", as to simplify it. The Genres is just what i happen to listen to, and if you don't want to use it as a template to what you usually listen to, then you can make your own. And, lastly, remember: there is no bad music, only what one does like, is indifferent to, and don't like Very Happy

My little list:
Pop: Scissor Sisters. This is the only form for pop i listen to voulentarily.
Folkmetal: Lumsk. A norwegian folkmetal band based on Folklore and earlyy norwegian litterature.
Folkrock: Gåte. A norwegian folkmetal band based on Folkstories
Grunge: Alice in Chains and Nirvana. Needs any explanations?
Metal: Apocalyptica. Love their sound and style. And System of a Down.
Indie: Arctic Monkeys
Progressive Rock: Coheed & Cambria. Heard them once, and haven't been able to stop since
Progressive Metal: Dream Theatre
Powermetal: Dragonforce
Alternative: Faith No More
Emotive Rock: Fall Out Boy
Comedy: Tie between Tom Lehrer, and Stephen Lynch Two different styles of comedy, and not able to compare them
Alternative Rock: Incubus and Muse.
Indie Rock: Kaizers Orchestra
Industrial: Nine Inch Nails
Skaa: Reel Big Fish
The Rock Genre: I have too many i like here. ranging from "Queens of the Stone Age", to "Flyleaf" and "Paramore", to "The Good, The Bad, And The Queen".

I am a noob at music genres and sub genres...

Like to listen System of a Down, something from Godsmack and Avenged Sevenfold, some game soundtracks (atm those are Prince of Persia: Warrior Within and Dawn of War soundtracks) and different songs from various artists and genres. I am rather tolerant when it comes to music...

First, I'd like to disagree with you on that, Morgh. Razz Yeah, one who has some talent or understanding in music can most of the time tell you what's of high standard and what's rather low or shows lowly skills. Although when it comes to tastes, everyone has a different one, and everyone listens to low quality music once in a while. No problem with that. .) I'm just saying there really is a standard and there are genres which are musically inferior to others. Basically because of their aims and purpose (for example pop is in most cases an inferior genre, because it's targeted at a larger scale of people than - let's say - hard/alternative rock, jazz or quality rap...

And my list would be:

Pop: Well if Pink! is considered pop, than she. ^^
Folkmetal: Korpiklaani
Folkrock: Don't know this genre too well.
Grunge: Kinda like it, but only a few songs.
Metal: This is too wide and I put some hard rock bands here as well...
Rammstein, Drowning Pool, Dope, Disturbed, Godsmack, Korn (not that much), System of a Down (I love them, but they're hard punk rock I guess)
Indie:
I'm not familiar with it.
Progressive Rock: Can't name one I would put in as progressive.
Progressive Metal: Dream Theater and several Hungarian bands .)
Powermetal: Manowar, Hammerfall, Sonata Arctica, Nightwish, Withing Temptation, Therion, Sinergy(they own!)
Alternative Rock: Muse!
Emotive Rock: Nay.
Comedy: There's a very good Hungarian one, but you surely don't know them. .)
Indie Rock: Not familiar.
Industrial: Laibach - they are fun to watch! ^^
Skaa: I don't like that genre. Nor punk rock.
The Rock Genre: Some Iron Maiden, Running Wild, Guano Apes, RHCP, Queen!!! and the list is very long...
Rap: Eminem .) The one and only.
And some heavyer stuff (hardcore/metalcore/Death Metal...): As I Lay Dying, In Flames, Mudvayne, Fear Factory... and Hungarian ones: Subscribe, Superbutt

For those who like that genre, here's a link for a Subscribe "Schlager":

Actually, what genre that is considered inferior is individual. When one is using myself as an example, the genres that are inferior are different from a person who has a totally different personality than me. Hence, the statement. And you'll always find musically talented people in all genres, and at the same time find people without any musical talent whatsoever.
And using the amount of people targeted as an argument against a genre is redundant, since all bands, artists and groups wishes to reach out to the most people.

"And using the amount of people targeted as an

groups wishes to reach out to the most people."

Well I think I asked for this. .P Very well. The above statement is surely incorrect, because if you want to play for the most people then it has a cost. And I don't mean cost marketing-wise. You have to follow the trend, and that will always force you to play lower quality music. Fashion determines how high quality the music you play can be in order to keep people listening to you and don't turn to some other mainstream band with easier thus more catchy melodies. It is the truth; one of my friends plays in a very talented jazz band and he got contacted by a publisher. They said they would make a contract, but only if they played lower quality music. ^^ They said it won't fit in the mainstream. That's it.

About inferior genres: you surely can't compare some hardcore techno crap with 3 tunes and 1 accord in it with a classic Wagner opera. .D

I never said that bands go for playing for the most people. I said they all wish to play for the largest possible amount of people. This does not mean that they are willing to compromise their own style and abilities, only that they wish to connect to as many people as possible through their music. Although, some happen to be able to compromise themselves.
It is sad that some labels force upcoming bands and artists into genres and styles that they feel is below them just so they can get some popularity among the masses, but you also have to see it from the capitalistic point of view; What point is there in having an artist that does not pull his or her weight when it comes to sales figures?
You are speaking about "the quality of the music". For me, that means how well one is playing, hitting the notes, and everything. It has nothing to do with genre or style, only how well an artist sings, or a band plays on that particular song.

And lastly about inferior genres:
I'm not saying that *I* prefer hardcore techno over a Wagner opera, but there are people who do. My mum is a perfect example. She likes pop mostly. And there was this philharmonic playing a New Year-concert on tv, and she asked me to turn that "crappy classic off". So what's inferior is individual. ^_^

I usually don't treat Korn as a band who make good points in their lyrics. Nor do I treat them as "quality music". ^^ But this video... Yeah I totally agree with that. ^^

Can we at least speak about "bad taste"? Razz

"but you also have to see it from the

Here we could start a whole new argument, but I think this shouldn't be the place to do it. One thing though... I personally believe that "fashion" and "trends" are most the time coming from artificial source. I mean they are defined by small interest-groups and then with the support of money they are made mainstream and the general example to follow. Just like politics. Where humanity goes isn't defined by the public. .) At least, that is my point of view.
